After the banquet was over, Wang Ben and others returned home one after another.
In the early morning of the next day, the list of victims came from Yizhou.
After the ministers finished the morning court, they immediately ran to check the list.
"Huh... great, there's no one on our boat!"
"Yes, yes, I'm so lucky, otherwise I don't know how I would explain it to their families!"
"No...!"
After carefully checking the list, several officials breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with relaxed expressions.
Several of them bought a boat together, and each family found some people they trusted to go sailing with the boat.
If something happens, it’s one thing to pay for it, but the main thing is to feel sorry for your family!
No matter how much money is given, what will happen if the person is gone?
But other officials were not as lucky as them, and many of them came out with a sad face.
"Alas! What should we do now? Three people on our ship died and dozens of others were injured!"
"What else can we do? Just pay for it!"
"Looking at His Majesty's attitude, it will definitely not work if the compensation is too small!"
"There is no way, who let us catch up...!"
Baiguan took a fancy to this opportunity and wanted to earn the first wave of dividends. He bought a boat and went to sea early to go to Yizhou.
I couldn't believe something like this would happen!
Wang Ben and others also hurriedly looked at the list. No one on their ship died, but there were quite a few injured, including fifteen or sixteen people!
Fortunately, the people on their ship always act together and never hunt for treasure alone.
When the natives attack, others can rush over to help.
Even so, many people were injured!
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just injured!"
Wang Ben patted his chest, his heart finally relieved.
"Yes! At least the people are still here. I'll send more compensation to their families later!"
"I am very sure of that!"
Even if they are injured, they are injured in order to find wealth for them. They must not treat those people badly.
This matter is already considered a big deal for Da Qin now.
To prevent people from panicking, the news was not published in the newspapers, but the gossip had already leaked out.
"I heard that something happened to the ships that went out to sea in search of wealth!"
"What's wrong? But we encountered a storm?"
"What kind of storm! I heard that they were attacked by the natives on the island!"
"Isn't there a garrison in Yizhou? Why are they still being attacked by the natives?"
"Who knows? I heard that many people died!"
"Ugh...! Is it so serious?"
The news that the people got from unknown sources spread more and more fiercely, and finally it seemed as if all the ships going out to sea had been wiped out.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I was thinking about immigrating to Yizhou before, and I was going to sign up for the last reunion year with my family. Fortunately, I haven't gone yet. Otherwise, my small body would not be able to fight against such fierce natives. Did you pass?"
"Huh! I'm not as lucky as you. I originally wanted to immigrate to Yizhou to go herding, but I didn't expect something like this to happen! After my mother heard about this, she wiped tears all day long, fearing that I would die. , I won’t survive!”
"What are you afraid of? You just signed up and haven't set out yet. You can cancel at the government office!"
"Huh? That makes sense. I'll cancel it right now...!"
Just as Ying Zheng predicted in the court, after this matter spreads, it will definitely have a great impact on the immigrants.
There was no other way, so the court had no choice but to let the newspaper publish the whole thing truthfully!
After reading the newspapers, the people realized that the facts were not as serious as the legend at all, and not everyone on the ship was attacked by the indigenous people!
And the imperial court has prepared to send troops for reinforcements, and they will set off in the next two days!
"This time it's because there are too few troops on the island, which gives the natives an opportunity!"
"No one expected that those natives would be so bold. Even after being beaten once, they would not be honest!"
"Our Great Qin can even defeat the Maurya Dynasty, so why are we still afraid of a few small indigenous tribes?"
"Yes, yes, as long as the reinforcements arrive and deal with the natives again, Yizhou will be really safe!"
"We should study immigration if we still need to. When more and more people from Da Qin come to Yizhou, even if there are a few small natives, they will never dare to make mistakes...!"
After seeing the news from the court, the people finally understood.
It turns out that everything is not as powerful as the rumors say!
In the rumors, the indigenous people are described as being like monsters with bared teeth, opening their bloody mouths and trying to devour people!
In fact, they relied on teamwork for sneak attacks, familiarity with the terrain, making traps, and the people's negligence, which gave them the upper hand!
Otherwise, the people all brought swords and daggers with them, how could they suffer such a big loss?
The list of the dead and injured was not made public for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to the people.
Instead, it was handed over to local officials, asking them to send people to people’s homes to notify them!
After receiving the notice, the families of those who died burst into tears.
"Suozhu's mother, his wife, don't be too sad. It's not an option to continue like this. You have to think about how to live in the future!"
"Yes! I heard that those officials have already paid compensation to the families of other deceased people. You have to go to Shopkeeper Wang quickly and see what he says. Your Suo Zhu is only in his early twenties. It's a good time. You can't say no. It’s gone!”
"Yes, yes, I heard that Yang Shilang's family paid five hundred gold to the Zhang family in Xitou! If you have this money and save some money, Suozhu's daughter-in-law can find a job and it will be enough for your family. Those who live in a mouth...!"
When the neighbors heard the crying, they understood what was going on and immediately came up with ideas.
But when the families of the dead people go to their employers to ask for explanations, they may be lucky enough to get some compensation, but it will definitely not be as much as five hundred gold!
As for those who are unlucky, it would be great if they can get the salary agreed upon before!
There is nothing the common people can do against them. After all, there is no law in this era that clearly stipulates such things. Even if you file a lawsuit with the government, it will be useless!
A few days later, an army of 100,000 men set out to sea on a steamship.
The boat is loaded with provisions and we have made long-term plans!
This time, no matter what, we had to clean up all the natives of Yizhou and bring them back to Da Qin for mining and road construction, and handed over all the most dangerous jobs to them.
To avenge the harm done to the people of Great Qin!
A few days after the army left, the insurance story was published in the newspaper.
As the headlines on the front page, newsboys held newspapers and walked through the streets, shouting!
"Insurance, insurance, spend a small amount of money to buy protection!"
"The credibility of the new business launched by His Royal Highness is guaranteed!"
"Spend one gold and get a thousand gold in return!"
"Everyone can buy life insurance, property insurance, and accident insurance! Come and take a look...!"
Newsboys waved newspapers and constantly promoted the main contents of the newspapers.
